Feeling Great

Two weeks post-marathon and I am happy to say after two weeks of recovery I feel great. (knock on wood) My feet are great, my legs are great, and my attitude toward running is great.

So great in fact that this morning I decided to take off on my first post-marathon double digit run. I have a crazy plan in the works and I needed to get a double digit run in to test my legs and make sure they will be able to handle the crazy challenge I have planned for them.

My legs took the challenge and felt great during and after my average paced 10 miles. Good news for me! Now I am just waiting for my partner in crime to give the go ahead to announce what my crazy plan is. 😉

Before the my run I fueled up with a Odwalla Chocolate Chip Peanut Bar.

I completed my 10 miles on the Upper Tampa Bar Trail. I love this trail. Its relatively flat, decently crowded so you never feel alone and they have water stops every few miles. Love it!

I stopped at Publix on the way back to Derek and picked up some fruit, muffins and yogurt for breakfast.

As I was checking out the cashier commented on how healthy my breakfast looked. I actually had the same comment when I purchased my lunch yesterday at a different Publix. Seems to be a reoccurring themes for my meals. I should have told them about my blog! 😉

The fruit was a simple prepared salad of melon, grapes, strawberries and pineapple.

The Whole Grain Cranberry Walnut Muffin is my favorite muffin the Publix has to offer. Its a hearty muffin that is always chewy and delicious.

FYI: Chobani is 10 for !10 at Publix this week! Stock up for cheap while you can!

Breakfast may seem a little light after a 10 mile run, but that is only because Derek and I have plans for an early lunch at a cute restaurant a reader suggested to us. I actually can’t wait to try it.

Congrats on your run! I did 10miles yesterday too, it’s the best feeling afterwards 🙂 I need to eat more muffins..that muffin looks and sounds so tasty 🙂 Have a great day! Can’t wait to hear about your plans…!

Wow, 10 miles on just an Odwalla bar!!! I wish I had your strength…I think I’d need at least 500 calories to go for that long! I don’t know what Publix is but I’m glad you were able to get such a good deal on breakfast. I’ve yet to try Chobani…I’m a Fage girl myself (too bad it’s so expensive). Have fun with Derek!

Also if you go to ebay and do a search for “chobani coupons” you should be able to buy a stack of dollar off 1 chobani coupons. Or you can go to the Chobani website and print off buy 2 get 1 free coupons.
